The sales were so close though I recall. Bob The builder finally ended Westlife’s number one reigns a couple of years later

The first Christmas merch drop is out now and it includes.....

 

A Spiceworld Globe Umbrella

A Spiceworld Globe ornament

A Spiceworld Globe silver Necklace

 

:manson: and it is all super expensive of course... I mean, people will really buy an ugly umbrella for 48Euros? :rolleyes:

 

Judge it for yourself: Spice Girls - Xmas Merch Drop 1

 

Apparently more to come still

Have ordered the ornament, it is probably way more expensive than the quality when it arrives but I love baubles and ornaments.

 

The necklace will defo be so cheap made as it has a note about not showerinf in it ect.

I mean... €30+shipping for this? The quality looks really terrible, sorry...

 

I mean it is all relative, I spend £25 on takeaway pizza too.

 

 

This merch - it's a no from me! Hopefully there's something better in Drop 2.

 

Is it just me or would wearing a globe shape on a necklace be a bit uncomfortable, even though it's quite small?

Gutted there is no Goodbye25 vinyl :(

I cant imagine anyone will actually be wearing it, it is basically for display.

 

Christmas Wrapping Spotify streams Friday - 24,055

This is what most fans want instead of cheaply made merch. Focusing on the music means they would actually have to put some effort in. Look at the low effort of Spice 25 and Spiceworld 25.

My bauble/ornament came yesterday, just got home to open it. I was very dubious that it would be worth it and not cheap (the stress ball was awful ect) but I'm happy to say it is actually very good. Not sure what it is made of but it is heavy and not made of cheap plastic, maybe some sort of metal or resin. It also looks well made in person and it comes in a black box with a Christmas Spice Girls logo on it.

 

If this had been rubbish I wasn't going to get the snow globe in the next drop but this has convinced me I will.

 

This and the rubix cube have defo had more thought put in but also made to a higher quality. Of course £25 is still expensive but artists stores are always over priced, Kylie's one is selling a pack of playing cards for £25.

I agree my bauble came yesterday and I think it’s great. It’s like a disco ball for the globe.

They should do a vinyl release at Christmas for their former Christmas number 1 singles.

Since Christmas is a time for peace :P

 

 

Glad I got mine before it sold out! :wub:

Do you think Part 2 of the merch drop will have anything to do with Goodbye25 as well?... That song needs to be pushed so hard!! It's a classic and they never mention it or give it any focus.. it's so sad, it's one of their best!

Christmas wrapping is now tenth on their most popular top 10 on Spotify.

 

Should easily move up to 8th before December.

I think what we're dealing with now, is that their music is just not the focal point: it's branding - they can call it nostalgia (or whatever) - but it comes off as minimal effort for $. When I get nostalgic for this group, I think of their music and togetherness as a 5-piece: and they are serving neither of those. But when they do, I will be on board (even if it's a 4 piece).

Christmas Wrapping up to 8th on their most popular on Spotify. It did over 36k streams yesterday.

 

Stop usually does around 75-85k a day, so you can see already how well it is doing given it is still a week before we even hit December.

We are in December now. How many streams does Christmas Wrapping average on a day?

Christmas Wrapping did 109.4k streams on Spotify yesterday.
